Pho Tre Bien Restaurant

I came to this Pho Tre Bien location because I wanted to see if their cooks could prepare a salmon spring properly without overcooking the salmon. Several times I have gone to the Montana location, and the salmon was so brown that it looked like beef! I was pleasantly surprised that their cooks can actually cook salmon well! The only downside with my lunch was that the peanut sauce was too runny. Other than that, I will pick this Pho Tre Bien over their Montana location any day!

I usually love this place buuut I only come when it’s not busy while food and service is phenomenal. Today it was pretty busy and as service remained great, food quality wasn’t there. The spring roll was still a bit crunchy due to the rice paper not being wet throughly, the spicy beef soup didn’t come in a spicy broth at all but I used the condiments to make it spicy. The rice was great though! Our server Lluvia G worked really hard and was attentive. She was waiting numerous tables and was constantly moving and attentive. THANK YOU LLUVIA FOR MAKING THE EXPERIENCE BETTER.

The Brisket Pho was better than expected, the Tofu Curry was delicious, and the ice water had a plastic after taste to it unfortunately. Pho choices are plentiful, our waitress was terrific, very attentive. The atmosphere was pretty chill during a late Friday afternoon and not very busy. Finally, I would definitely recommend visiting if you enjoy Pho.

The Gateway location specifically is amazing! The veggie broth is savory, their tofu is made consistently across their different dishes, and their portions are commensurate with their prices. Their peanut sauce (for spring rolls) is also very tasty. Great ambiance and full bar, the patio is nice for date night, though we got takeout this time
